Dou Jiande, a native of Zhang Nan, Qinghe County, Shandong Province, was chivalrous and brave. Hard-working towns joined him. In the recruitment activities in the county, Dou was brave and good at fighting, and was recruited as a 200-person long soldier. Dou has a friend named Sun Anzu, who was recruited as a soldier because of his bravery. Unfortunately, there was a flood in Shandong at this time, and Sun's family was flooded. If Sun applies and his wife and children have no livelihood, Sun hopes to be exempted. The county magistrate's work attitude is simple and rude, thinking that Sun evaded military service and wanted to beat Sun. Sun was furious, assassinated the county magistrate and fled to Dou's house to hide. Later, it was gradually discovered that Dou harbored Sun, and Sun could not continue to hide in Dou's house. Dou discussed with Sun that taking Koguryo would inevitably lead to chaos in the world. It was when the hero made meritorious deeds that Dou said a word: The husband did not die, but made great contributions. This sentence can be used as a portrayal of Dou's life. So Dou stepped forward, gathered hundreds of villagers and formally revolted under the leadership of Sun. There is a big lake in Zhangnan County, which is hundreds of miles wide and is famous for its high chicken pond. Sun is based on this. However, Dou did not rebel with Sun. After sending Sun and his team away, Dou went home and continued to be the leader of his 200 people. Unfortunately, the government refused to let Dou Jiande go. Due to Dou's high reputation in the local area, the rebels from all walks of life never approached Dou's home when looting. Therefore, the government has long suspected that Dou is a bandit leader, at least a bandit. In addition, Dou also harbors Sun Anzu, a fugitive who killed officials. There is really no reason for the government to ignore him. So one day, the government attacked Dou's family. Dou survived, but the whole family was killed by government troops who came to fight bandits. It is impossible for Dou not to rebel. He gathered more than 200 people to take refuge in Gao Shida, a huge rebel army in qing he at that time. He was very happy to meet Dou and appointed him as a soldier, that is, a military commander. At the same time, Sun Anzu's team clashed with another rebel, Zhang Jin, and Sun Anzu died unfortunately, so Sun's troops all went to Dou.
Because of Dou's reputation and ability, he soon attracted a large number of soldiers loyal to him, with 10,000 people under his command. But at this time, the sinus is still in a bad climate. He is just a general under Gao Shida, and Gao Shida himself only claims to be the Duke of the East China Sea, ranking a seat in the Shandong Uprising Army. The insurgents on an equal footing include Zou Ping's assistant minister, Liu's plain badou, Zhang Jinming's meandering river and so on.
Dou Jiande's military career lasted twelve years. This year, Yang Guangpa sent general Yang Yichen to attack the insurgents in Hebei and Shandong provinces. He was one of the few generals in the Sui Dynasty. He killed Zhang Jin in World War I and immediately attacked Gao Shida. At that time, Gao Shida had just wiped out the army of Guo Xuan, the general of Sui Dynasty, with Dou Jiande's fake surrender plan, and the morale was booming. Dou Jiande suggested avoiding Yang Yichen for the time being and retreating to Gaojibo. Gao Shida didn't listen, so he sent Dou Jiande to stay behind and led the troops against Yang Yichen. The high-level departments are indeed more effective, and the result of the first battle is that the high-level departments won. He held a banquet in the camp to reward the three armed forces, thinking that Yang Yichen and others were my enemies. Unfortunately, the high step is only a small victory. In fact, Yang's main force was not damaged. It's dangerous to underestimate the enemy because of small losses. Perhaps this small victory was Yang Yichen's tactic. Five days later, Yang Yichen launched a surprise attack, and Gaobu was caught off guard. As a result, Gao Shida was defeated and killed on the spot. Yang Yichen attacked Dou's left-behind position at 56 o'clock, and Dou finally managed to escape with only a few hundred people. Yang thought Dou was just a petty thief, so he didn't pursue Dou and won. Later, it turned out that this was the biggest mistake in Yang Yichen's life.
After Yang Yichen's withdrawal, Dou Jiande returned to Gaojibo and told Zhang Jin that the rest of the troops came to him one after another, so Dou Jiande called himself a general and became an independent rebel. If Gao Shida dies, Dou Jiande may always be his soldier, maybe he will be angry and Gao Shida will usurp the throne, maybe Gao Shida will find an excuse to kill him, but now that Gao Shida is dead, Dou Jiande who lost his boss will naturally become his boss.
At this time, Dou Jiande's influence is still very weak. If Yang Yichen comes back, Dou Jiande will definitely go with his former boss. Fortunately, Yang Yichen, the terrible enemy, will never come again. The thing is, Yang Guang, the emperor of Yang Di, has an ecstatic question. He is very unwilling to hear bad news. His ministers pandered to the sacred will and never reported the news of rebellion to him. If there is an urgent document asking for help from a certain place, Yu Shiqi, the minister in charge of the document, will try his best to suppress it from Yang Guang. If you can't suppress it, he will tell you that there are rat thieves harassing this place somewhere, and the counties are besieged on all sides and will be eliminated in a few days. Your majesty need not worry. Everyone around you says so. Yang Guang feels like a spring breeze and thinks that this is still an era of peace and prosperity. This time, Yang Yichen wiped out Zhang Jin, the two biggest insurgents in Hebei, Shandong and Henan, and said that he and Gao Shida had made great contributions. They reported that they were hundreds of thieves. Yang Guangda doubts that the world is at peace, where can hundreds of thousands of anti-thieves come from? You, Yang Yichen, are not hiding your achievements? Yu Shiqi took the opportunity to enter the slander, saying that Yang's troops are all Yang's soldiers, with many troops and strong fighting capacity, and nothing is afraid of becoming a curse in the future. Convinced of this, he immediately decided to dissolve Yang Department on the spot. Poor General Yang Yichen risked his life to get such a reward! Dou Jiande stood on its own feet, and the general trend of the Sui Dynasty was gone. Ordinary county officials were unable to fight against the insurgents. It was only because the rebels treated Sui officials with death that local officials did not surrender. After Dou Jiande became self-reliant, he adopted a more lenient policy towards officials of the Sui Dynasty, so local counties and counties gradually surrendered to Dou Jiande, and Dou became more and more powerful, with more than 100,000 people under his command. In the 13th year of the Great Cause, Dou Jiande claimed to be the King of Changle in Leshou, Hejian County, and initially established his own political power.
When Dou Jiande became king, he met an unprecedented enemy. This year, because Zhai Rang and Shi Biao's Wagangjun stormed Luoyang, the eastern capital, Yang Guang deployed elite soldiers from all over the country, assembled Luoyang and attacked the Wagangjun in Jiangdu. These different military forces include Wang Cong Jiangdu and Zhang Cong Lingnan. The commander-in-chief of this operation is General Xue Shixiong of Zhuo Jun, Hebei Province. Yang Guang's order to Xue Shixiong was to wipe out the insurgents along the way, so Xue led 30 thousand troops to wipe out the bandits all the way and arrived in Qilijing, Hejian County in July. At this time, the Dou Jiande army was short of food, and the troops were scattered around to collect food. Dou Tangchang is the king of Changle, with less than two thousand troops around him. With 2000 to 30000 yuan, if the sinus doesn't want to be destroyed, there are only two ways to go: escape and surrender. Incredibly, Dou chose the third way and decided to take the initiative! There is a legend in history about why Dou Jiande made such a risky decision that he almost committed suicide. It is said that Dou Jiande, who was worried about Xue Shixiong's army, was recommended to consult a witch who was said to be very powerful. Dou asked about good or bad luck in the future, and the witch replied that running away and surrendering are both great evils, and only attacking before sunrise will be good. It was afternoon when divination was performed, and the distance between sinus and Xue Shixiong was 140 Li. It was not known whether he could arrive before sunrise the next day, so Dou gathered his troops and ordered them to set out immediately to attack Xue Shixiong, and agreed to attack with all their might if he arrived before sunrise. If you arrive after sunrise, the whole army will surrender. Whether the legend of the witch is true or not, Dou is determined to throw eggs at the stone. Dou himself led the 280 death squads as pioneers, and the rest of the troops followed. Doubu marched in a hurry overnight, and when it was less than two miles from Qili Well, it was almost dawn. Dou was annoyed and had to prepare to surrender. At this moment, the most amazing thing happened in the whole event. Suddenly, it was foggy and there was no one at hand. Dou shouted God help me, and Dou's morale was greatly boosted, so everyone launched a surprise attack and killed the generals. Just when Xue Shixiong was very self-confident and very underestimating his enemy, he unexpectedly camped unsuspecting and was attacked by the sinus. Xue Bu _ _ doesn't know the number of enemies, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit. Thirty thousand troops were defeated on the spot. Thanks to Xue Shixiong's habit of getting up early, he was fully dressed, so he was able to escape at the first time before he was freed. After Xue Shixiong fled back to Zhuojun, he was ashamed and angry, and soon died of illness.
